A photo booth at a gala or an awards night in Washington, DC gives guests something to do between the formal parts of the evening, and a photo to take home. Plan it around the program: when guests can use it, where it stands, and what the photos show. Send us your date, venue and guest count, and you can compare options with prices for photo booths that are available that day.
Plan around the program
A gala or awards night has set moments: arrival and drinks, dinner, the speeches and awards, and the time afterwards. Guests have time for the booth before and after the program. Tell us the times in your request, and ask each company whether the attendant can pause the booth during the speeches.
Where the booth stands
Put the booth where guests gather, but away from the stage, so the flash and the noise don’t reach the speeches. Ask the venue where it can stand, where the nearest outlet is, and when the company can get in to set up.
What the photos show
A gala photo is a keepsake. Ask:
- whether the event name, the date or your organization’s logo can go on the prints or the digital frame;
- whether the backdrop can carry your logo;
- how far ahead they need your logo files.
Photos of the winners
If you’d like a photo of each winner with their award, ask whether the attendant can bring winners to the booth after the awards, or take a few photos near the stage.
Prints and sharing
Decide how guests get their photos: printed on the spot, sent by text or email, or posted to an online album. If the booth asks guests for an email address or phone number, check your organization’s privacy rules first, and ask the company who keeps that information and for how long.
Pick the kind of booth
Some of the people who ask us for a photo booth in Washington, DC leave the style open. If you have one in mind, such as an enclosed booth, an open booth with a backdrop or a mirror booth, put it in your request, and we’ll check it with each company.
Questions to ask before you book
- Can the attendant pause the booth during the speeches and awards?
- Can you add our event name, date or logo to the photos, and what files do you need?
- Can you take a photo of each winner with their award?
- How do guests get their photos: prints, text, email or an album?
- How many guests can use the booth in an hour?
- When will you arrive, and how long do you need to set up and pack up?
- If our venue asks for proof of insurance, can you send it?
What changes the price
The price depends on how many hours you book, the number of guests, whether it’s a Saturday or in the holiday season, and travel outside Washington, DC.
